I work a travel job where meals are covered, and on my first monthlong work order, napkin maths says I will have just under 10k at the end of it.
Coming from a life where I lived in overdraft and HEROES act was peak living, I have no real idea what to do with this much skrilla.
I use a budgeting app that autopulls from my acccounts, and those show that I spend about $1200 per month without rent expenses.
I aim to put about a third of this money inyo index funds, and do mutual aid where I can, but am wondering what are some things more experienced chapos can offer to take into consideration when budgeting.
Keep 3-6 months expenses in a High-Yield Savings Account and never touch it, ever. Eliminates nearly all financial stress and lets you actually breathe.
